Now that some of the first orders are starting to ship straight out of China and make their way to the doorstep, I'm wondering if we can share info on when you placed your order so the rest of is can see how far along the line we are.

For example, I ordered around 9-10pm central time on June 11 itself. Estimated shipping is 2-3wks and delivery on June 28-July 5 with two day shipping.

I normally wouldn't be so desperate, but this info is particularly useful for me since my delivery date range is right when I leave the country (29th) for a couple of months and I can only hope Apple is beating their delivery estimates based on the the orders placed before me. It will be heartbreaking to leave without it.

Ordered Thursday 16:00, arrived Friday 14:30 (despite the 3-4 weeks lead time?!) :D

:rolleyes:

Apple always makes a few models to stock before launching new products and releasing them on the same day. If you order one right now, the lead time is indeed 3-4 weeks.

As I mentioned in the OP, I ordered on Monday night when it was still 2-3 weeks, but that doesn't mean Apple can't overdeliver by shipping a bit earlier and that's what I'm hoping to find out if people who ordered on Monday in the hours before me are getting theirs early. I would sleep better knowing it will arrive before I leave. It's going to be close though.

I ordered it on Jun 14 with an estimated 3-4 week shipping time. Tonight (i.e. 2 weeks later), the status of the order changed to "Preparing for Shipment", so hopefully it's heading out to me shortly. :D

So its worth it??

Every penny. My only complaint is that there's a good share of applications that don't support the Retina display, but that's something that will be fixed by developers in the next few weeks/months.

Friend of mine got his yesterday and his screen has a pressure spot on it. It's not like a dead pixel but there is a white spot on the screen as if the screen itself is dented or under pressure in only that tiny part. Anyway he returned it to a local Apple Store and his going to order another one online as soon as they refund his money which could take up to 5 working days.

He is really bummed out considering he ordered it the night they released and it has taken this long to arrive. The Apple store in which he returned his had none in stock either.

I'm considering buying one myself soon but I'm going to hold off a few months let them work out some of the kinks.

Just to follow up from my OP, I did get mine two days ahead of schedule, but it was cutting it close for me. For anyone still waiting for theirs, here's where I tracked my order (http://wheresmyappleorder.com/). This is created by someone over at the MacRumors forum.

I knew the it! I was saying to a lot of people that the only reason shipping is so far behind is because of the models people are getting. Its either base model, or upper model with 16gigs which is common for still not shipping yet on that list, or base model with 16 which is third.

Picking up a 2.6 with 16 + 768 is proving to ship the fastest. Amazing.

I cant wait to pick one up. Will probably be last july. I want to be able to walk in, pick it up and walk out. If it has issues like Pressure spots (which how it does during shipping, no idea) then ill be able to take it back. For the person whos friend returned it waited for the money and ordered it again having to wait longer, he could of had the genius bar order one. They would get it ASAP to CRU his, and give him a new one.

Thats a tid bit for anyone who receives theres and has issues. Instead of joining the LONG ASS LINE again, just go through the genius bar to have it replaced.

He spoke to the people in the store they said he'd have to wait 3-4 weeks like everyone else.

I can tell you that unless he was a dick, that shouldn't be true. My buddies friends came in hella damaged via UPS. The brown box looked like ****, took the macbook out that box was completely ripped out, and then the screen was dented, turned it on, lcd was cracked. took it too the closest apple store, talked to them patiently, they worked something out to get us one asap, or if one comes in to hold it, he just got the base model, 4 days later, 1 came in, they put it on hold, now he loves his macbook even more and appreciates apple for looking out for him. Although he knew he would of probably had to wait cause it wasn't apple's fault but ****ty ups's but apple took care of him.

I've always had good experiences with Apple and they are all about customer service and their people don't make commission. So I've always had the most helpful people and the closest apple store is an hour way.

But i hope your friend got/gets his new one soon and its in perfect condition. FedEx ships everything and especially apple things very nicely. UPS doesnt take care of ****.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet

      I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.

      So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
